Owens has had a friendship with Chris Jericho for the past few months, which saw them win a SummerSlam match together and work through a world title reign. However, the second month of KO’s time on top has seen some dissension with Jericho. He hasn’t stood by Y2J’s everytime Rollins attacked him. After this happened for three consecutive weeks, Jericho became frustrated and started arguing with his buddy. It hasn’t led to anything more, but something is surely on the horizon.
It’s possible that at Hell in a Cell, Owens and Jericho have their tensions come to a head and split. This could lead to a feud that eventually culminates at Survivor Series for the Universal Championship. It would make for a fine one-off feud with the former ROH star potentially standing tall before moving on.
To create some heat and controversy, Owens could be placed in the 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match. It might be against his will via Mick Foley’s orders, who would make him pull double-duty for the sake of Raw getting a win. During the match, Jericho could run in and attack Owens, coincidentally taking him out of this bout early on. The odds may then be swayed in Jericho’s favor, but would it work?
This is not the main event, though.
